NRF9160 Custom board Serial LTE Modem build failed

Hi, 

I created a custom board following the instructions from https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V_dVKgWKILM . Everything is ok and with the "Hello world" example builds without any problem. Now I'm trying to use this custom board to build the Serial LTE modem example, but it gives me the following error:

Anyone can help me, please?

thanks in advance

  • Hi,

    Could you provide more information about your board?

    Did you build Serial LTE Modem (SLM) sample from VS Code?
    Can you show your build command?

    How did you make your SLM application?

    Have you modified SLM sample or its prj.conf in any way?

    Best regards,
    Dejan


  • Thanks!

    My custom board uses a STM32 MCU connected to nrf9160 sica b1 via UART. 

    TX --> P0.06

    RX --> P0.05

    RTS --> P0.14

    CTS --> P0.15

    So, I understand that I only need to activate GPIO and UART2 on .dts file and then add these pins to the pinctrl.dtsi file, right?

    I just created the custom board with these changes and the SLM application from the sample. Then add build configuration and select my custom board --> build configuration

    I didn't modify the rest of parameters of the build configuration or the prj.conf file, should I do that?

    thanks for your help!
